The Pittsburgh Pirates were swinging the bats today as they pick up 10 runs on 13 hits.
Former MVP Andrew McCutchen hit a home run in the 6th and knocked in 4 runs, while 2nd basemen Neil Walker drove one in the crowd as well knocking in 3 runs. Polanco and Mercer had a couple of hits driving home runs.
The bullpen played well tonight. Casey Salder struck out 5 batters though giving up one home run only played 5 innings earnes the win, while Hughes, Caminero and Watson held down the fort.
The Pirates are off to a slow start only winning 2 games both coming against the Brewers taking the first series between the two teams. If the Pirates continue to see the ball well like in this game, this season could be very promising. Pitching needs to be stabe and consistant in order for them to go far this season. They have the talent to win on offense and defense. Another MVP year from McCutchen is hopefully in the mist jf you're judging this game alone. Baseball season is here and there are plenty of games left in the season.
